Life List

When I was in my late twenties and thirty was looming, I wanted to make a 30×30 list: you know, thirty things I wanted to do, or at least have done, before my thirtieth birthday. Yeah… that didn’t happen. When I started this blog I was 32, and there wasn’t a 33×33 list either.

Instead, I present this: my life list. This is simply a list of things I want to do during the course of my life.

The rules for my list are pretty generous. If it’s something that I would’ve had on such a list at any time and I’ve already accomplished it, it goes on here. (And I get to cross it off already! WHEE!) I also reserve the right to add to it at any time another must-do occurs to me.

Welcome to my Life List.

Listed in the order they occur to me, not by importance or any sort of organization.

Go to Ireland

Go to Italy May 2009

Go to Greece May 2009

Live in another country

Visit all seven continents – North America (born here), Australia (2000, 2002), Europe (2009), Africa (2010, 2013, 2014), and Asia (2016). I’ve also been to Central America (Mexico and El Salvador) a total of six times. Those countries are far more like South America than they are like North America, so I give myself half a point for that. I have no partial points for Antarctica!

Visit all fifty states – Just missing Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, and Vermont.
